The role of the free press Newspapers and magazines play an imoportant role in today 's society and are capable of influencing people's lives in many ways. The new electronic media have become even more influential in shaping people's opinions, attitudes and behaviour. However, does the free press offer a valuable service , or is it, as American journalist, Edward Egglestone said, "organised gossip"? On a personal level, the media can be very entertaining and informative. Reading about the lifestyles of the rich and famous is amusing and can help people forget their own problems. However, journalists frequently intrude on the privacy of celebrities, following them and photographing them in their most intimate moments. This is surely an unacceptable interpretation of the word "free". As far as politics are concerned, the free press is important as it often reveals the truth behind all the speeches and accusations. Unfortunately, most newspapers tend to favour a particular political party , meaning that their articles are not objective . In addition, sometimes the information published may not necessarily be entirely true and thus cause damage to the politicians concerned. From an educational point of view, newspapers and magazines are an important source of uptodate information and indepth articles, reporting on both local and international events. What is more, they can be an invaluable part of a child 's education and often expand an adult 's knowledge as well. However, opponents of this view say that newspapers do not always give correct information and facts are often falsely reported . Thus, they are not always appropriate learning material for students . On the whole , I believe that the existence of the free press is valuable to the society, as long as its power is used wisely and objectively in an effort to inform the public, rather than mislead it. The modern society would be considerably poorer if censorship was imposed by the government and as a result , the media would be a means of no importance.

The first successful English daily, the Daily Courant, was published from 1702 to 1735.The first dedicated school for journalism, Missouri School of Journalism, was founded in 1908 in the United States of America by Walter Williams. In the 1920s, as modern journalism was just taking form, writer Walter Lippmann and American philosopher John Dewey debated over the role of journalism in a democracy. Their differing philosophies still characterize a debate about the role of journalism in society and the nation- state. The journalist became the middleman. When elites spoke, journalists listened and recorded the information, distilled it, and passed it on to the public for their consumption. The public is not smart enough to understand complicated, political issues. Furthermore, the public was too consumed with their daily lives to care about complex public policy

economic development, and nationalist struggle--which have created cleavages that could only be repaired through concession, co-optation, and/or organization (Remington and Reuter 2008: 504). Yet, one might say that what distinguishes dominant party systems from totalitarian single-party systems is the fact that dominant parties can still occur within democratic countries where other political parties are tolerated and allowed to operate in a more or less free political landscape. It is just because of the overwhelmingly strong opponent, that other parties do not have the chance of winning the elections.
